Parents yesterday demanded that city officials take immediate action to bolster school safety by booting violent students, increasing security patrols and installing more surveilance cameras.

“We have to get rid of the gangs. We have to take the bullies out of the schools,” said Angelus Row, vice president of the parent association at Middle School 302 in Brooklyn.

Parents from schools around the city sounded off during a breakfast at City Hall hosted by City Council Speaker Gifford Miller and Education Committee Chairwoman Eva Moskowitz.

Bronx parent Paulette Dildy said metal detectors are needed at more schools. “My daughter was slashed trying to stop a fight,” she said.

Stiffer punishments must be meted out to thuggish students, many parents said.

The parent leaders said apathetic parents themselves are part of the problem because they’re not held accountable for their kids’ bad behavior.

“These kids come from somewhere,” said Emily Allan, parent head of IS 275 in Harlem. “We should bring parents of bad kids into the school and embarrass them in front of everybody. The kids are running amok.”
